Belgium commemorated the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Brussels attacks, which killed 32 and injured over 300, with ceremonies honoring survivors and highlighting ongoing security challenges.
Belgium marked the 10th anniversary of the March 22, 2016, jihadist attacks in Brussels that killed 32 people and injured over 300, the country’s worst peacetime massacre.
Coordinated bombings at Brussels Airport and the Maelbeek metro station were carried out by a cell linked to the Paris attacks.
Survivors, including Beatrice de Lavalette, who lost both legs, shared their experiences during ceremonies attended by King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, and Prime Minister Bart de Wever.
The attacks prompted major security reforms, including increased personnel, a national extremist database, and improved intelligence sharing.
Despite progress, some victims still face challenges in receiving recognition and compensation, and the threat level remains "serious" amid recent attacks on Jewish sites in Belgium and the Netherlands.
